[258] The success or failure of a strategy is determined by the victory or defeat of the battle

When the 80th Division of the 27th Army was preparing for the assault, the artillery reconnaissance squad and fire cover squad of the 80th Division of the 27th Army were squatting behind a haystack in front at the moment, and this group of soldiers were all wearing camouflage steel helmets. Xu Xionglin, the main observer, used the periscope-like artillery mirror to poke out the lens from the haystack to observe the group of strangely dressed troops a kilometer away.

"Quan Bao, you said that this devil surrendered, and he didn't stay at home, why did he come up to our Chinese border again." The thin Xu Xionglin whispered while observing carefully.

Hou Quanbao, a communications soldier, was holding a walkie-talkie in his arms, resting against the haystack, he smacked out a cyan ear of rice chewed in his mouth, and scolded: "Cheap! The little devil with itchy skin is just underwhelmed. ”

Xu Xionglin looked at the eyepiece without blinking, nodded slightly, and whispered, "It's his mother's underwhelming." ”

The walkie-talkie beeped out, and Hou Quanbao immediately became alert, and hurriedly leaned on the haystack and picked up the earpiece with bated breath.

Hou Quanbao said sharply while listening: "The artillery regiment is ready to start the test firing, Xiong Lin, start the fire guidance!" ”

The main observer, Xu Xionglin, squatted behind the haystack and did not speak, for fear of disrupting the parameters of the Haode artillery team mirror that had been debugged, he put up the thumb of his right hand to indicate that he was ready.

Hou Quanbao immediately replied simply on the walkie-talkie: "Report, the scout is ready." ”

Xu Xionglin calmly began to report the parameters: "Ruler 465, xiangyou055." ”

Standing on the side of the haystack, Qiao Sanxiao, the deputy observer who had been silent, held the artillery steering wheel tightly, and reported in his mouth: "Ruler 465, xiangyou054." ”

As Hou Quanbao returned the data to the position of the artillery regiment of the 27th Army, which had been built, the calculation hand of the artillery regiment immediately gave the final shelling data after brushing the calculation with a slide rule on the operation drawing board. As a result, the artillery regiment of the 27th Army began to exert its might.

The head of the regiment, Dai Gensheng, held a small flag in his hand and gave an order:

"122 a company, four guns, one shot, release!"

A shell whizzed and hit about twenty meters from the flank of the 2nd Special Division of the Devils, which was marching in the distance. A huge explosion sounded, and suddenly, the marching queue of devils exploded all at once, and groups of devils scattered around and lay on the ground to dodge.

"Enemy attack!" The shouts resounded through the 2nd Special Division.

Xu Xionglin looked at the deviating explosion in the eyepiece, scolded himself in a low voice with self-blame, and quickly began to guide the correction: "The ruler minus five, to the left 03." ”

After receiving the corrective shooting data from the scouts, Dai Gensheng, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 27th Army, calmly ordered: "122 Company, immediately calculate the correction ruler position." Listen to me! Four cannons, one shot, put! ”

A cannon rang out, and the shells landed accurately in the center of the Japanese marching array. Suddenly, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who had been frightened by the first cannon fire and ran quickly in small steps were overturned.

The artillery reconnaissance squad behind the haystacks cheered excitedly.

"Hit!"

"Hey! Well played! Blow up a bunch! ”

Correspondent Hou Quanbao shouted excitedly in the walkie-talkie: "Good fight!" Report! Right in the middle of the target! Right in the middle of the target! ”

The head of the regiment, Dai Gensheng, heard the report from the front, and a smile appeared on his tense face:

"Two salvos from the whole regiment! Put! ”

Now that the target has been hit in the central area, for Dai Gensheng, the next covering shot is completely as easy as practicing according to the exercise schedule.

Rumbling artillery fire began to cover the area in front of them mercilessly, an area the size of several football fields, because the surrounding terrain was plain rice fields, the Japanese had nowhere to hide, and suffered heavy casualties. As the scouts continued to shoot, the artillery fire began to extend in all directions, and the 122mm howitzers and 155mm howitzers seemed to have eyes, chasing the Japanese army and falling down the barrage.

In the blood and smoke of the shelling, the face of the commander of Lao Chiang's Second Special Division, Taniguchi Tadaji, was blown up with blood, I don't know if it was his own or someone else's, he rode a frightened war horse and kept fleeing, but no matter where he ran, the explosion behind him always followed him like a shadow, at this life-and-death pass, the feeling of humiliation and depression almost drove Taniguchi crazy, he pulled out his command knife with a bang, and shouted desperately on his horse:

"You Balu are cowards! Coward! Come out! Come out and fight me! ”

Not long after Taniguchi, who was delirious, started to perform, he was led by the adjutant next to him by the horse's head and ran desperately towards the front, hoping to run out of this death area as soon as possible.

After seeing Taniguchi on horseback, the Scout felt that this goal was valuable. So a 155mm howitzer shell hit the area where Tadaji Taniguchi and the other commanders of the Japanese 2nd Special Division were concentrated. Suddenly, a burst of fire exploded, shrapnel splattered more than 50 meters, more than 20 people were killed, and many people and animals around were scattered with stumps and broken arms. As for Taniguchi, directly with his war horse, the world evaporated.

The 80th Division had also launched an offensive formation at this time, and the 77th Regiment used all three battalions of troops to break through to the vicinity of the Second Special Division at high speed, and after the artillery regiment found that the assault infantry of the 80th Division had approached, the artillery bombardment of nearly half an hour finally came to an end, and the marching formation of the Japanese mercenaries had completely ceased to exist, the soldiers could not find their superiors, the subordinates could not find their superiors, the division commanders and the command headquarters were all smashed, and the formation of more than 10,000 people, only more than 5,000 soldiers remained, Among them, there were many soldiers who were desperate to find where their guns were thrown in a hurry after the shelling began.

Under the cover of 20 tanks of the third and fourth companies of the 2nd Tank Regiment, the 77th Regiment was directly inserted from the center like cutting tofu, and after cutting the second division, it used the assault rifles in its hands to start the clearance, and in the face of the fierce firepower of the PLA, these Japanese mercenaries began to surrender in large numbers.

"Don't shoot, we surrender!" These Japanese mercenaries shouted in their stiff Chinese.

On the other side, the performance of the 76th Regiment was also outstanding, facing the 3rd Wing of the 1st Special Division that came to send them to death, with the cooperation of 30 tanks of the 76th Regiment and the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Companies of the 2nd Tank Regiment, they entered after a round of mortar bombardment, killing the enemy division commander Takamu Zhizhi on the spot, and capturing the enemy's deputy division commander Jun Watanabe.

After the 80th Division's beautiful battle was fought, there were no more Kuomintang armed liliang at or above the company level within a radius of 20 kilometers near the beachhead of Guanyin Township!

After the completion of the strangulation battle, the 80th Division immediately received an order from the corps headquarters, asking them to set off immediately, except for leaving some soldiers to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the troops to attack Taoyuan County according to Jihua.

In the corps headquarters, Commander Song Shilun sat motionless in front of the large topographic map of Taiwan hanging in front of him.

The badges of each unit on the map are constantly moving. Obviously, the current offensive of all units is quite smooth, among which the 79th Division's furious advance is particularly obvious. It was just noon, and after taking Taoyuan Airport and successfully meeting with the 76th and 78th regiments of the 80th Division that captured Taoyuan County, the 79th Division gathered 100 Type 59 tanks from two tank regiments and began to advance towards the outskirts of Taipei, and the distance was only about 15 kilometers.

The 80th Division basically completed the control of Taoyuan and Zhongli, and as a reserve, began to rest and standby.

As for the 81st Division, it has also successfully completed the first phase of the operation to control the beachhead of Guanyin Township and move south to Hsinchu, and the 79th Regiment, the vanguard of the 81st Division, has taken Xinfeng Township and Hukou Township in the north of Hsinchu. Once the 80th Regiment supported by the 81st Division arrives, the two regiments can take Hsinchu City in a pincer attack on the left and right, and the Kuomintang troops from southern Taiwan who intend to go north to reinforce will be blocked in this bottleneck area.

Commander Song looked at the map, looked at it and suddenly stood up, and said to Commander Peng: "So far in the morning, the fight has been very good, except for a little chaos, the progress is still very smooth, notify all units of the whole army, let them eat compressed biscuits while marching, and eat compressed biscuits after the tank troops and logistics vehicles stop, in short, stop without stopping, before dark tonight, I will surround Hsinchu City in the south!" The 79th Division in the north was to rush to the outskirts of Taipei. In addition, the troops were informed that once they arrived, they would immediately construct siege fortifications on the spot. In this case, even if you can't attack it, you can still retreat. ”

Commander Peng Deqing said with a smile: "It's a bit chaotic, the 74th Regiment of the 79th Division actually made its own decision and ran to find the second special division of the devil behind the Sixth Army, but the devil didn't find it, but robbed the 81st Division, and the 74th Regiment directly captured Dalun Mountain and opened up the way for the 81st Division to attack Zhongli." It can also be regarded as an assist to the 81st Division.

As for the 79th Regiment of the 73rd Division, it actually made a successful surprise attack on Taoyuan Airport and captured a total of 112 of Lao Chiang's various aircraft! Being able to take down the intact Taoyuan Airport before lunch is indeed a miracle. If they had stayed behind and waited for the follow-up troops, the surprise attack might have come to naught. ”

Commander Song also smiled and said, "It's easy to say that you have won the battle, turn around, let's give them meritorious awards!" But if I suffer, I'll have to arrest all these scurrying guys and lock them up! ”

Commander Peng asked in surprise: "Then aren't we engaging in double standards?" I think it's okay not to reward or punish it. ”

Commander Song said with a smile: "A Soviet marshal once said that whether the strategy is correct depends on whether the tactics are correct, and whether the tactics are correct depends on whether the battle is won or not. To put it bluntly, winning the war is the last word! If you lose, no matter how haode tactics are, it's all excuses and empty talk! In the future, we should train more commanders who can flexibly adapt to changes, change tactics, and win battles under the correct overall strategic direction. We have all brought soldiers all our lives, Deqing, you should know how much pressure the commander has to withstand to temporarily change the pre-war established tactics. If you win, you may not be praised at all, and you will even be criticized, and if you lose, you will be severely punished. ”

Commander Peng said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, chief, in fact, I am afraid that they will develop this kind of arrogant spirit in the future, thinking that with superior equipment, they will dare to do anything, in this case, they will be defeated sooner or later." ”

Commander Song smiled: "Isn't there still us, let's check for them." Now this radio has been in contact with the company-level units, and the movements of all the troops are clear, which was really unimaginable before. ”
